Description
Hindu nationalism in India, making money in war-torn Yemen and family drama in Uzbekistan. Kate Adie introduces correspondents’ stories from around the world. It’s 25 years since Hindu mobs destroyed the Babri mosque in Ayodhya; Mark Tully was there and asks whether it really did mark the end of secularism in India, as was claimed at the time.
Bethan McKernan finds that business is booming in Yemen for the tribal leaders, arms traders and khat dealers who know where to look.
Peter Robertson dissects the rise and fall of Gulnara Karimova who was once seen as her father's favoured successor as president of Uzbekistan.
Katy Watson explores the complex history and geography of the word ‘America’ – should it be used to refer to a country, a continent, two continents?
And Hannah King joins the British soldiers training the Somali National Army.
